Haiti's street kids fear killings by police

Last Updated Mon, 29 Nov 2004 09:45:26 EST

PORT-AU-PRINCE - Someone has been killing street children on the streets of Haiti's capital, and the kids blame the police.

United Nations officials in Port-au-Prince say at least six children have been shot to death in the past few weeks. <snip>

The UN report doesn't lay blame for the killings.

But more people than just the street kids are living in fear of the police or the other armed groups roaming Haiti's neighbourhoods. <snip>
